Have been looking for a scope for my Valk build. Was wanting to try out something new, and then found this. And since I already have 4 and they work great on all my trainer builds, I said what the heck. Out the door at $527. Forgot to add use the extra 10% off code at top of page too

My order processed at 1514 EDT and I have 2 of these coming. I purposely didn’t reply in my thread because I didn’t want them to be gone before I finished my research and order. Someone else let the cat out of the bag in my thread and then this thread came up and thank god I got my order processed.
 
If you’re looking for a LPVO for an AR or a shorty rifle the XTR 2 1-5 is a damn nice scope. I have one and it’s hard not to buy another one when they’re $400 right now. Someone needs to buy them before I break out the CC again.
 
My 4-20 mildot arrived waiting on a mount now. Glass looks amazing granted I just have a Leupold vx-r pro to compare it to but glass is very clear and no noticeable edge to edge distortion. The scope is going on a 20 inch precision 5.56 precision AR for the time being looking forward to seeing what this rifle can do since the present optic wasn't the best for groups. Will try and get up a decent review in a few weeks.

Has the glass improved over the original offerings?
I use one of the early offerings in 3-15, while very usable, the glass is a bit underwhelming

I just got a replacement 5-25 this past Tuesday, sent from Burris when I sent my early production one back for inspection. The glass has improved. It's still not great glass, but it's usable. While there is still CA, the fringing is not as bad (in fact, before I could see yellow and purple fringing at the same time when looking through it, and now, I have to shift my eye around to see purple or yellow fringing). It's still washed out a bit on higher mag, but, overall they have improved it a bit.

Bear in mind, for the cost these days, it's a great scope and very usable. That being said, it isn't ever going to be Gen II Razor quality glass (nor should it expected to be at its price point).

JMTCW...

My 2 arrived today. I’ll look through them on Monday and see how they are. Interested to see how it compares to my Weaver 3-15 iEMDR, Super Chicken 5-20 HD and 3-9 HD, hell even the fixed power line. If the Burris are as good glass wise as the fixed 6s I have and are as durable as people say they are I’ll be very pleased.
 
I've have an early 3-15 with the 8 mil elevation turret and G2B reticle. I actually prefer the simplicity of the G2B mildot with the hafl-mil hash marks. I have no complaints with the glass in my particular example and the tracking consistency has been amazing. After mulling over some advice here on SH and other forums about the 4-20 vs the 5-25, I think I will get better overall performance out of the 4-20. I just ordered a 4-20 G2B at the Natchez advertised $564 sale price. Hopefully, the one I get was built after the initial glass quality QC issues.

Before anyone gets all self righteous TN is a very long fucking state people in Memphis are about 400 miles away from Chattanooga... While NC and SC are a hop skip and a jump away (as is GA, AL, MS....)

It's a dumb policy.

Before anyone gets self-entitled, lets realize it's a good thing they don't have to please everyone.

It's funny because you see people bitching all the time on how stores like walmart and online shops like amazon are taking away from the mom and pop shops... but then someone does something like this and people are equally as pissed because they can't score a good deal. I think it is better for them to piss off people with a TN address then to fuck over a mom and pop shop.

I'm with you, I currently have a TN address, and when I went to buy it the first time it was out of stock so it didn't matter. There are other places to get good deals from, you'll be ok.
 
Personally I would never buy another XTR at least until the III's come out so yes I will be ok.... When it pisses me off is when whatever unicorn dust that we are currently chasing is only available at Natchez...

Again when people stop shopping at walmart and other chain stores then throw stones at me for bitching about a stupid policy and mom and pops.
 
I better they are pretty worried about loosing the business of someone who can't buy from them. :ROFLMAO: :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

TN is a very long state.... not that tall just long. It's literally about the same distance to the atlantic than it is to west TN. (I live in East TN so I'm really only about 200 miles away but still.... its not really about mom and pops at that distance.)

For the record I support mom and pops for my online stuff (look at bluecollarreloading.com for some good prices...not on scopes but bullets etc). I would rather support veteran ran business's and businesses like Mile High that support my endeavors than some store ran by a Fudd in my hometown.

It's a dumb policy.
